Kotlin for Java developers: Classes and coroutines
fun StarWarsMovie.releaseYear(): Int { val year = release_date.substring(0, 4) return year.toInt() } val newHope = StarWarsMovie(“A New Hope”, 4, “1977-05-25”) val releaseYear = newHope.releaseYear() println(“The release year of A New Hope is $releaseYear”) In the above example, we’ve defined a new method on the class, called releaseYear(). Note that we defined it directly on the […]
